God’s breath that speaks in us more than flesh and blood,
sometimes without our knowing it,
to lead us where we do not know, Praise be to you!
God’s breath that keeps our faith alive, our contemplation of the Scriptures luminous,
hope serene and strong, Praise be to you!
Breath of God, fire that burns away the dross of pride, rekindles the ashes of our discouragement
and dissolve fear, Praise be to you!
God’s breath for our land
that makes us speak each other’s language,
build bridges and crumble the walls of our prejudices, Praise be to you!
Breath of God, never leave us alone,
rekindle in us the impulse to pray,
and the joy of knowing that we are all enveloped in the love of the same Father, Praise be to you!
